The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here.
So, for Costeño Beach, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed deal. The swell is around, but the wind is gonna be a problem for a lot of it. Water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The real standout is Monday the 13th afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the NE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 248, but with the glassy surface, it’s gonna feel way better. That’s your best session.
Tuesday the 14th morning is a bit rough with cross-on wind, but Tuesday afternoon goes glassy again with a bigger 7 ft NE swell. The combined energy is strong at 502, and it’s clean. That’s another good call, but 7 ft is getting big for beginners.
From Wednesday the 15th through the end of the first week, it’s mostly cross-on wind and choppy. The swell stays between 7 ft and 8 ft, with combined energy in the moderate to strong range, but the wind messes it up. It’s a beach break, so with that much wind, it’s gonna be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week has some glassy windows again. Thursday the 23rd morning and afternoon both have glassy conditions with a 5 ft and 5 ft NE swell. The energy is lower, but the clean surface makes it fun. Saturday the 25th afternoon also goes glassy with 6 ft NE swell and 423 combined energy. That’s a good one.
The rest of the second week is mostly cross-on wind. There’s a late spike on Tuesday the 28th afternoon with a 8 ft NE swell and a very strong 800 combined energy, but the wind is onshore, so it’s gonna be messy.
Bottom line: hit Monday the 13th afternoon and Tuesday the 14th afternoon for the best waves. Then keep an eye on Thursday the 23rd and Saturday the 25th for those glassy windows. Crowds are possible, so get out early.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Costeño Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Costeño Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
